Adrienne Elrod, Senior Adviser and Spokesperson for the Harris-Walz Campaign, defended Vice President Kamala Harris's policy changes on MSNBC's “Morning Joe,” arguing that public servants evolve as they learn more about issues.
On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Harris-Walz Campaign Senior Adviser and Senior Spokesperson Adrienne Elrod defended 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris ’ policy flips by stating that “when you become a public servant, when you serve the American people, you, oftentimes, learn more about the issues,” and “public servants evolve, and I think you want someone in office who’s willing to take a hard look at the issues and be open-minded when it comes to...
Co-host Willie Geist asked, “One of the things I’m sure you hear…is that do have concerns about where she stands now versus where she stood previously in her career, particularly in 2019, during that 2020 race.
Elrod responded, “I’m glad you asked this question, Willie, I think she’s made it very clear, that, when you become a public servant, when you serve the American people, you, oftentimes, learn more about the issues, and when you learn more about the issues, oftentimes, your positions evolve. Her position on fracking, for example, is the same position that she had during the 2020 campaign. … People evolve on positions.
Geist then asked, “And so, I guess the concern, Adrienne, is that she’s saying some of these things to get elected and she’ll go back to her previous positions if she becomes president. Is it safe to say she’s going to stand pat where she is right now?” Elrod responded, “Absolutely safe to say that, Willie, no doubt. She made that very clear on the debate stage Tuesday night. She’s evolved on some positions, but when it comes to where she stands on the issues that matter to the American people, her values remain the same. Those have been unchanged her entire career, when she was a prosecutor, when she was attorney general of California, when she was a United States senator, and, obviously, as Vice President.
